7 Years
Lukas GrahamOnce I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some
or you'll be
Once I was seven years old
It was a big big ,
but we thought we were
Pushing each other to the ,
we were quicker
By eleven herb and
burning liquor
Never so we were out
to make that steady figure
Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old
I always had that like my daddy before me
So I started songs,
I started writing
Something about that
just always to me
'Cause only those I really love
will ever really me
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old
I only see my , I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the voices,
they can make it
I got my boys with me at those in favor
And if we don't before I leave,
I hope I'll see you
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything,
I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old,
our songs have been
We've around the world
and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old
I'm still learning about life
My woman children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'm still
Soon I'll be sixty years old,
my got sixty-one
Remember life and then
your life a better one
I made a so happy when I wrote a once
I hope my children come and ,
once or twice a
Soon I'll be sixty years old,
will I think the world is
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Soon I'll be sixty years old,
will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Once I was seven years old, momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
A song about growing up in a 'utopian community' in Denmark (Christiania)
The lyrics are by the singer himself, under his full name, Lukas Graham Forchhammer – an indication of his cross-national heritage. It's a highly emotive song. The singer recalls his childhood, his hopes, his dreams – and smoking weed at 11. He looks forward to turning 60. It's personal. “I couldn't go any further than 60 because my father died at 61,” Graham, who is 27, has said.
